SbIBIECT: Adopt -A -Park
DAIS: June 18, 1993 ell,, l}F bbKc G1'eir4
Staff has discussed the proposed Adopt -A -Park program with the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board several times in an effort to include input from them.
We have identified twenty -than areas (see enclosed Use) of various sizes and uses
and have attached a monetary value for each per year for which we shall attempt to
compact with individual busineanobased upon athreeyear commitment. Asyoucansee,
the program will have the potential to generate nearly $25,000 per year of private funding
if we are successful in contracting for every park.
At this time I do have commitments from Sam's Club (Paul Bunyan Park),
Noontime Rotary (Broadway Park), Home Quarters, Alternative Energy, and interest
(with probable commitments) from Doug's Shop 'n Save (Cascade Park), V F. W.
(Davenport Park) and W WMJ.
If crossed approves this program I would envision letters being sent out by my
office to mea businesses announcing fie program arm seeking their participation, setting
up a press conference, establishing appropriate signage for each park area, sending out
trews releases and FS.A.s and establishing an Adopt -A -Park committee consisting of a
representative from each participating business so that they amid have some input as to
how their funds might be utilized. I would thus hope that the council will accept the
money as dedicated funds set up in a find established by the Futures Director.
Lastly, I should like to set this up in July the fust month of our new budget year. I
suspect that you will want to place this on a Municipal Operations Communes agenda.
